Frequently Asked Questions

Rubber pads offer a more dampened, controlled feel; mesh is bouncier and more dynamic, but rubber is quieter and generally more durable.
It’s a standard 5-pin DIN connector, so it should work with most drum modules that support cymbal triggering.
While functional, the choke isn't as refined as higher-end models, so very subtle ghost note chokes might be tricky to execute consistently.
